THE DEATH OF STRADELLA, ,THE (Froth liogarth's History qf Aftisico Alessandro Straddle, remarkable not less for his roman tic and tragical history than for his musical genius, was born at Naples, in the earlier part of the Seventeenth century. While yet a . young man, and having .acquired ( - treat reputa tion at Venice,,he was empl o y e d b y a 'N o bleman of that cityto give instructions in music to a young lady of noble 'birth, named Hortensia. She had been seduced froM her fa mily by this Nobleman, with whom she Was living,. when Stradella was introduced to her acquaintance. She was beautiful and accomplished ; and, notwithstandingher un happy fall from virtue, must have posseskd 'estimable, as well as amiablequalitiis.-. A mutual passion sprang ifp in the minds of_thminstructor and his Pupil:;',andAlky_agreed to fly together-,f min:: the bouser . . of her seducer_ The 'en-. raged Italian, on disc Overing 'theii: flight,. determinedthat nothing but their death' s h ou ld satisfy 'his vengeance'; he hired two bravos, avithiastructions to , follow. them, arid!' execute his purpose, wherever they shouldybe found., They.. proceeded to Naples,the birth, place of Stradella,.supposing he would 'most probably' return thither. After: a'vain search, however, in that city; they learned that he "and-'the lady were living at: Rome, where she was ,regarded; -:as his wife. They applied to their employer for a recommenda tion to the Venetian Ambassador at, Rome, in order that they might find "an asylum *hen the deed was perpetratdd arid, thus providetLithey. arrived at that city. They soon discovered the residence, of Stradella ; but hearing,that an . oratorio of his composition was to be performed in one: of • the churches, in which he was hiMsell to sing, they deter- I mined to waylay and murder him on his return hoinc,in darkness of the night. They entered the church while Stra della was singing ; and such was the exquisite beauty and pathos of his music that these savages were melted by it and they could not bear to take the life of a man who had procured them such sweet and unwonted emotions. They waited for hini in the street; hut, instead of plunging their poniards in his . heart, informed hiin that such had, indeed, been their purpose, whichthey •now-detested ; and warned him to fly with his mistress-to some place . of greater safety, : for that the revenge of their master., would soon reach them . there. The lovers 'immediately haitened from Rome, and took up their abode at Turin. The bravoes, returning to. their- emplyer, told him that they had traced the fugitives' to Turin ; but that, as the laws were exceedingly severe in that Place, and the chance of escape, after the commission of such a deed very difficult,' they would have no further concern in the matter. The Venetian, however, was de termined to proceed in his bloody purpose ; and therefore engaged two other assassins, on whom 'he could place mere reliance, procuring for . .theM letters of recommendation from the.. French Ambassador at Venice to -the Ambassa dor of the same country at Turin, in the character of two merchants who were led, by their commercial pursuits; to that place. The murderers delivered their credentials, and remained in the. city, waiting for a favourable -opportunity.' In the meantime, the. Duchess of Savoy, then Regent of the. kingdom, having been inforined of the story of the lovers, and knowing the imminent danger in which - they were, placed Hortentia in a convent, and ietained Stradella in her service, giving him a residence in the Palace. After some time Stradella's fears for his safety began to abate ; and one evening having ventured to walk . on the ramparts of the town, he was attacked , by two ruffians, who each stabbed him with a dagger, and fled to the house of the French Ambassador, as a-sanctuary. The news of this assault im mediately reached the Duchess, who ordered the gates to be shut, and demanded the assassins of the French Ambas sador, who refused to give them up. Stradella's wounds, however, proved not to be mortal ; and the murderers were allowed to escape, in order to put an end to the dis cussion as to their delivery to justice. The persecutcir of this hapless pair remained implacable, and continued to have them constantly watched by spies, whom he kept at Turin.. A year elapsed after Straddle's cure was completed ; and no renewal of any attempt having been made, he began to think himself in safety. The Duchess of Savoy, deeply in terested in the fate of the lovers, had them married in her Pahce, and the prospect of happiness was now before them. It was a deceitful prospect. Stradella; having to .- com pose an opera for Genoa, went to that city, carrying hts wife with him. The Venetian, informed by his spies .of this movement, and finding that his victims were no longer under the protection of the Dtichess of Savoy, despatched murderers, who, watching for an opportunity, rushed into their chamber early one morning, and stabbed them to the heart in each other's arms. The murderers effected their escape, 'and were never more heard of. Wandsworth Estates, Surrey. • MR.

The subjoined passages are taken from a letter in the Belfast .J..Ve ws: The furze plant has been employed for many years, in the counties of Down and Antrim, as food for cows and horses, particularly in the months of March and April. The farmer possessing large furze hedges, will take the opportunity of dry weather in the beginning of December, and set them on fire; by which means all the lighter or prickley parts will be consumed. The more solid or woody stems should then be carefully cutaway, and will fully com pensate the husbandman for his trouble, by the fuel which which they make. In the early part o f the spring, the hedge will be thickly covered with young and tender scions .of the plant, which make the Most nutritious food, and are most easily prepared for the cattle. When a large basket or bundle of these has been collected, they are spread on the barn floor, or a smooth flag, and well .beaten with a heavy piece of wood having a erooked handle, shod with transverse teeth of iron. When they are nearly reduced to a proper degree of softness,. they may be sprinkled with salt and water, which makes them more wholesome for the cattle, at the same time facilitates the process of bringing them to a proper degree of softnesi. When properly bruised, they may be mixed with a small quantity.of -oats, bran or oatmeal, and horses will feed upon them with avidity. I have never observed a horse fed in the manner above described, that did not improve in flesh, and obtain a degree of sleekneSs in the skin, more than others fed on larger quantities of oats. It must be observed, however, that if two horses stand together in the same crib, or labour in the same plough, the one fed on the furze plant, and the other fed entirely upon oats, the breath of the one fed on furze will be in some degree deleterious to the other, and produce weakness and much perspiration. Some of the most able physicians have recommended ,goat's milk whey in pulmonary complaints ; and the prin ciple reason why goat's milk should possess any medicinal quality, is the nature of its food in a state of liberty. The favourite food of the goat is furze ; therefore it may be fairly concluded, that the milk of a cow fed on the same plant will possess a medicinal quality also. CUPIDS MOURNING OVER A BROKEN LUTE.— Among the exquisite engravings which adorn " The Book of Gems," none will be more amired than the above from Hayter's picture. " The Book of Gems" as a volume of selections from the British Poets, has no superior ; as a volume of specimens of British art it has no equal within . the same compass. Fifty poets furnish the contents, and fifty . -three painters and sculptors, the illustrations. We thought the annuals had done their best, but in point of beauty, splendour, interest and power, " The Book of. Gems" surpasses every thing that art and poetry have as yet completed amongst us. It is well known that cold-blooded animals use very little food. If a rattle-snake gets one good meal in "three months it . is all that he requires ; but even this 'is not actually necessary, for I have seen one of these ani mals that had not tasted food or water for twelve months as plump, active, and venomous as those in the wild state. On the other hand, all those animals- that have warm blood require an immense quantity of food, and if they do not, receive this they soon perish ; but nineteen-twentieths of this appears to be taken into the system for the evolu tion of animal heat. The carbon is ultimately derived from the nourishment that we use, and the oxygen is di rectly derived from the arterial blood ; a constant supply of nourishment is, therefore, necessary in warm-blooded animals ; but a very, small part of the blood which is formed from this is required for nutrition ; and the whole of it were expended in this way, it is very clear that there .would be none left to return to the veins.--=-Dr: Stevenson Respiration, in the Phiksophical Transactions. A few nights since a policeman found a man leaning against the , iron railings of St. George's Church, in such a state of exhaustion as not to be able to move without assistance. Subsequently it was ascertained that his name was Leigh, a private in the Royal Marines, who, having stopped over the time allowed him to come to town, feared to return to his duty, as he dreaded corporal punishment. He had wandered about for three days and three nights, and at .length sank from exhaustion, caused by want of food and rest. After staying some time at the station-house, where every attention was paid him, he was taken to the Town-hall, when the magistrate directed aconstable to con vey him to his. Tegitnent. This was done ; and from the re presentations made to the commanding officer, it is believed 1 that he will escape the punishment of the lash. LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANU4IIY 20, 1836.

The editor is requested, in consequence of the late Repeal of the Old Poor Laws, to ins.frt, the following ex tract from the works of the celebrated;Doctor Franklin, in illustration of the benefit likely to arise from the New Poor Law Act, which promises to confer on the working classes a comparative state of purity and hap piness : "ON THE MANAGEMENT OF THE POOR IN ENGLAND. " I am for doing . good to the poor, but I differ in opinion about the means. I think - the best way of doing good to the poor, is, not making them easy in poverty, but leading, or driv ing, them out of it. ,In youth I travelled much; and I ob served in different. countries that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less' they provided for themselves, and of course became Poorer. And, on the contrary; the less was done for them, the more they did• for themselves, and be cattle richer. There is no coentry in the world where so so many provisions, are established for them ; so ma n y hos pitals to receive them when they are sick or lame, founded and maintained 1y voluntarY :Charities ; so many alms houses for the aged' of both' sexes, together with a solemn general law made by the rich to subject their estates to a heavy tax for' the sepport ••of the poor. Under all theSe obligations are - the poor modeSt, - humble," and-thankful? And do they their best endeavours to maintain•themselves, and lighten our shoulders of this burthen-? On the con trary, I affirm that there is no country in the world in which the poor are more idle, dissolute, drunken, and insolent. ~.14c day you passed that Act, you took away from before their eyes the greatest of all inducements to industry, fru gality, and sobriety, by giving them a dependence on some what else than a careful accumulation during youth and health for support in age and sickness. In short, you offered a pre mium for the encourageMent of idleness, and you should not wonder that it has had its - effect in the increase of po- verty. Repeal that law, and you will soon - see a change in their manners ; Saint Monday and Saint Tuesday will soon cease to be holidays ; Six days shalt thou labour,' though one of the old commandments long treated 'as Out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept ; industry will increase, and with it . plenty among the lower people; their circumstances will mend, .and more will be done for their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates among them." IMP ORTAN TISTVELLIGENCE FROM PARA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.—By the Rival, from Maranham, which came into port to-day, some important intelligence has been received from Para. The Rival is a vessel of extraordinary swiftness in sailing.. She left Ma ranham on the 20th of -December last, and.has made some. of the quickest passages 'on record. . At the sailinz of the Rival, affairs' were in a state of complete anarchy at Para, but there appeared hopes, neVer- . theless, of subduing the Indians, and restoring - it" - again to order and civilization. It will be remembered that the Clio, on the breakine , out of the last rebellion, 'aceompanied.with the massacre of the inhabitants, was dispatched. to Para, for the purpose of subduing the insurgents, and re-establish ing a system of government. The Cho on her • arrival was attacked by the Indians with such success, that out of the whole crew only three men, including the second mate, es caped butchery. When this intelligence reached the*.ears of Sir Edward Holme, of his Majesty's ship Racehorse, who was then at Maranham, he immediately proceeded to Para, and received on 'beard the men who had so pro videntially escaped ; on returning, he met' the expedition which had been despatched to follow the - Ctio,_ consisting of five vessels, and •having on board seven hundred men. With this force.he returned, and a. desperate conflict took place with the Indians. The latter fought with desperate energy, but were eventually routed. It was believed that the force with which Sir Edward Holme returned to Para, would be sufficient for the subjugation of the Indians, and the maintenance of order. This opinion was strengthened by the fact, that the smal4ox. had appeared among the Indians, committing dreadful ravages, and carrying off im mense numbers. Two of their chiefs had fallen victims to the malady. At the date of the last distaatches every thing was in the most fearful confusion, as it had been for a length of time previously, and the city was all but de serted. 169, Piccadilly, Jan. 1::=:::1836. 9HE BRITISH and FOREIGN REVIEW ; or, EUROPEAN QUARTERLY JOURNAL No. Hy.

SUPERSTITION.—Had not the following anecdote been told us on the authority of a gentleman of high re spectability, we should have found some difficulty in be lieving that so strange a superstition still had influence over the minds of the inhabitants of the West Riding. On the night of Christmas-Day our informant was returning to Leeds in a gig, from a town a tow miles off, and wished to light a cigar. He stopped at- a cottage by the wayside, and begged to be allowed a light. " No," was the reply, "thou'lt get no lights here to-night." Somewhat surprised at this surly reply, he drove on for a mile or two, and, arriving at a toll-bar, again preferred his request. "-No, Sir," said the gate-keeper, " I shall let no light go out of my house to night." As there was no mending the matter, our friend again proceeded to another toll-bar, and a third time re quested a light. He was very civilly told that he should have a light with pleasure,had it not been Christmas night ; but on that night, to allow a light to be taken out of the house, would insure bad luck through the next year. Here at length the mystery was solved. This silly superstition was the cause which led to the refusals which so astonished the traveller.—Leeds Times. IRELAND.—At a time when, at length, the unhappy state of affairs in Ireland is so seriously occupying the pub lic attention, it is indispensable, in order to come to a just conclusion as to the policy or impolicy of the measures that have been, and may be,,adopted towards her, that the most authentic sources of information should be consulted for the discovery of the causes which have brought about her present misfortunes. For this purpose, it is impossible to select a more valuable authority than Sir Jonah Barrington, who has been so situated, through family, talent, and circumstances, as to be conversant with every point connected with the history of the country during the last fifty years. In his " Memoirs of Ireland and the Union," which, we are glad to hear, are occupying the earnest attention, of our legislators, Sir Jonah Barrington hopes " to open wide the eyes of Great Britain to the present dangers of Ireland ; to draw aside the curtain of ignorance and prejudice by which her welfare has been so long obscured ; to compare her once rising prosperity with her existing miseries ; to discover the occult causes of their continuance, and the false principles of her misrule ; to dis play her sacrifices for England, and to unmask her libellers in both countries." This is, indeed, " a consummation de voutly to be wished." Bombay papers to the 20th of September have arrived, but their contents in, general are uninteresting ; they contain, however, an' account of the exportation of of the cotton from that year to 106,170 bales, and which exceeds the ex p ortation rr 1834 country ,by36l which a mounts 70bales;for the present as for that year, they amounted only t o 70,000 bales. NATIVES 0 . (From Dr.- Wil son ' s '" MELVILLE ISLAND. On Tuesday afternoon, .11th Of ..A.Jigust, we were gratified • by- a visit from Voyage Rou t . ; . 4 tti , e .j. N a ir c e a r m ld a . three natives ; Waterloo,- Marambal, alias Alligator (sci . named on account of his. immense .mouth,' and len t ; white teeth),, and Mimeo°, alias One-eve. Orders' were given to prevent the discharge-of fire-arms' in -the - camp, -as at was -deemed -indiscreet •to run any risk of breaking the good . understanding :that -at present , existed, by _Any incautious . act . ; - the natives not be ing able -to discern the difference .between firing 'for fun, and firing with intent to destroy. They came to the cottage just as we had finished dinner ;- and knowing -they were welcome, walked . in, and mi.'s& - themselves at. hOme. They disea - vered great emotioit at the sight of a turtle, which 'I had received from the 'master of the Adnilial - Giffin - d. , Nita erloo re quested very clamorously to have-it ; 'but he was kept within bounds by the other two. Mimalobjherr showed us their method of killing the turtle, and pointed out, with- signs of extatic - delight, the Tarts of it they • chiefly prized - ; :and—whatever dif ference may exist between - them- -in -other re .spects--we found, that in The.' 'knowledge ,of _turtle, a savage is as skilful - as an Alderman. .They —were- much amused by a musical- snit& box : Mimaloo, in particular, paid great attention - to it; first*, the .‘,‘ stops" seemed. to Confound him ;.'but he soon started up, ond, „Mato:tuba], danced a waltz in a manner that astonished-us.--- Gapiain-Laws then sent for the ship's fiddler.; who: turned to, con amorc`,. with a favrmrite half -deck - tune. ' After having heard it once, i Dr. Davis; Marambal, and -Miinaloo,- began the' dance the Doctor. was &akin -obliged to give in-; but the two natives continued with undiminished spirit, and intuitive skill, :to perform feats 'worthy of, and re .ceiViag; 'unbounded applause. All -the -natives keep exceedingly correct time ;: and, if dancing consists- in -easy and gracefully varied positions of the body; the civilized professors-of that' useful, art might have pro fited by the skill of the sable Mimalbo. At length, from the fiddler's elbow .becoming tired, the music ceased, one dancer threw himself on the ground, and the other rested his head on my knees ; I placed him on a chair, when, balancing it on the afterlegs, his head against the wall, he threw his legs on the table with all the nonchalance of an Indian pilot. This free and easy way..ereated much mirth, particularly - to the' , Sailors, who,werc assembled round the cottage to-wit ness the amusement. Marambal then requested to have some water in a : basin : which . being brought to hini, he squeezed it into-honey out of a meshy fibrons -bundle formed .froth the inner bark of young trees (the only- -method the natives have of retaining honey), and then dipping the bundle into the water, he sucked it with great avidity and seeming satisfac tion. Having repeated this several 'times, he handed ' it to Mimaloo, who in the same manner partook of the refreshin g beverage. They remained with us until after tea, whic-Marambal and Mimaloo partook .of with becoming propriety.. Waterloo's. manner _ was more uncouth., Thisseem must have appeared very strange to- those who had formerly witnessed and borne a part -in others so totally different. The same individuals -that they had been accustomed to consider, to treat, and to fear, as wild beasts, were now found to be, if not quite tame, at all events, not - so maliciously disposed as represented. Indeed, it was impossible for any per son; possessing common feelings of humanity, not to rejoice at the happy- change brought about, in a great measure, if not Gruirely, by the judicious . conduct of Captain Barker.--=[The concluding remarks of the above extract from Dr. : Wilson's book, recently pub lished, are creditable equally to his head and heart. Dr. Wilson has gone out on more than one voyage to New South Wales, with convict ships, and his re marks on the treatment, both of the aboriginal inha bitants of that vast country and of the Government pri soners, are highly deserving of attention for their be nevolence and sound sense. Indeed, we have seldom met a work of the same class. as this, in which there were more palpable manifestations of careful inquiry and well-digested opinions.] SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE'.
